Manaphy(マナフィ) is the 490th Pokémon in the Pokédex. It is a Water-Type, and is known as the Sea Faring Pokémon.

Manaphy uses the Hydration Ability, which heals any of the five major Status Conditions while it is raining.

Manaphy doesn't evolve and doesn't have a pre-evolved form.

Manaphy is in the Egg Groups Water 1 and Fairy; if a Manaphy breeds with a Ditto an egg will be produced that will hatch into a Phione after approximately 10,240 Steps. It takes Manaphy 1,250,000 Experience Points to reach Level 100.

In Generation IV, an Egg can be transferred from any of the Pokémon Ranger games to obtain a Manaphy. This Egg can be obtained by completing specific Ranger Net missions that were only available for a specific time period.

Manaphy is listed in the 9th Movie Halfedck, the 10th Movie Commemoration Set, the Pokémon Card Game set (5), and Pokémon Organized Play Series 6 and Pokémon Organized Play Series 9 as a Rare Card. Manaphy is listed as a Rare Card in the Diamond and Pearl & Unleashed sets.

Manaphy also makes an appearance out of a Poké Ball in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. When it appears, it uses Heart Swap, which causes the combatants on the field to switch bodies temporarily. While the score, damage and remaining lives remain the same, you'll have access to an opponents' attacks, maybe even a Final Smash if Manaphy's appearance coincides with a Smash Ball appearing.

Manaphy finds itself in the Uber Tier of Competitive Battling with thanks to its Ability Hydration, which makes it a great teammate with Kyogre, who causes it to rain with its Drizzle Ability, which frees up a moveslot as it won't need to use Rain Dance to activate its Ability.

Shutting down its Rain support will work well, as this prevents it from making use of its Ability, and strong Grass or Electric moves will bring it down.
